Should you buy your laundry supply in bundle?
If you run your own laundry business, you would realize that you would need to replenish the followings quite often :
1) Detergent (for normal wash or dry clean)
2) Softeners
3) Hanging plastics
4) Dry cleaning plastics
5) Hangers
Some tips that we can share with you is to
1) Buy them in bundle, so that you save the travelling cost to the shop
2) or make a deal with the supplier to send them to your shop. Typically a supplier would have a price cap before they are willing to make such trip as the margin for selling laundry supply is not much. So it will be a lost to them to send you the stuff if it costs less than RM100 or so.(this vary from one supplier to another, and based on how far you are from his shop too)
3) you should not stock up so long as some of the fragrants in detergents may get evaporated, thus your customer may start complaining that the washed laundries smell bad.

Have you been paying attention to the care symbols in your garments?
Care Label Symbols are required by law for your information to help you make informed garment purchase decisions. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires manufacturers to attach a permanent label to textile garments that provides directions for their care. According to law, manufacturers and importers must list at least one method of safe care for a garment. It also requires that the label must be easily found and that it will remain legible during the garment's useful life. The label must warn about any part of the recommended care method that would harm the garment or other garments being laundered or dry cleaned with it. It must also warn when there is no method for cleaning a gaarment without damaging it.
Especially for dryclean symbols, you would need to pay special attention to send your garments for dry clean to avoid damages done to it. From our experience, if you try to hand wash gently at home these type of garments, the color may run and the shape may change.
For Wet Cleaning, before a garment undergone machine wash, it will first be inspected to remove stains. This process is called "spotting". A garment is chemically cleaned only in the areas where spots are noticeable. Spot cleaning is performed if a small area has a stain which can range from food stains, oil, ink to name a few.Spot cleaning is accomplished on a stain removal board with special brush and appropriate stain removal agents as necessary.
What is the difference between wet cleaning and dry cleaning?
What is Dry Cleaning?
Dry cleaning is a method of removing stains and dirt from garments and fabric by using little or no water. Actually, dry cleaning is not "dry" as solvents, or liquids, are used to perform the cleaning, but with little water thus the term "dry".
Wet Cleaning and Dry Cleaning : What is the differences?
Dry cleaning means your garments are immersed or machine "washed" in a solvent mixture designed to prevent harm to natural fibers such as silk and wool. After the cleaning, the solvent is extracted taking the soil with it. Clothes are then dried and pressed. On the other hand, wet cleaning may be a solvent-and-water process, or water-and-commercial detergent. Again, the clothes are dried and then pressed.
Why choose wet cleaning over dry cleaning?
Professional wetcleaning is an important and increasingly popular service offered by clothes cleaners for the solvent-free care of garments.Professional wetcleaners have specialized equipment, skills and training to safely clean in water those garments previously cleaned in chemical solvents. Professional wetcleaning requires a range of techniques and technologies such as computer-controlled washers and dryers, the use of special soaps and conditions, and knowledge of fabrics and fibers.
As part of our initiatives of finding an alternative to clothes cleaning the Islamic way, we found out the approach of doing wet cleaning is much more preferred. First the usage of water and solvent-free detergent gives a peace of mind to the Islamic consumers. Moreover, wetcleaning is beneficial as it does not produce chemical smell, whiter whites, easier to remove water-based stains and some items come out cleaner. Wetcleaning is environmentally safer than traditional drycleaning for employees, for customers and for communities
